yellow gunky stuff around oil cap

I went to top up my oil this morning and the oil filler cap was stuck tight. After some force the cap came unstuck, this has never happened before. I noticed around the under-side of the cap a strange yellow gunk build up. I have attacked some pic's. Could anybody tell me what this stuff is and should I worry? I have a 1999 ML430.
